Today I am taking you guys back to my college years, where a quesadilla was always a quick, easy, satisfying and CHEAP dinner! This week’s Sunday Supper theme is “budget-friendly recipes,” and this black bean bell pepper quesadilla immediately came to mind since I made it so often in college. If you have the time, homemade tortillas are the best, and they are much cheaper to make from scratch than buying them at the store. These vegetarian quesadillas don’t need a lot of expensive toppings, they are delicious on their own. If you like, you can top this black bean and pepper quesadilla with salsa, sour cream and guacamole!

What is your favorite budget-friendly meal?

This week went by really fast. I got some exciting news this week: I am really close to getting hired by a drug information company to update some of their articles, which is exciting because 1) I get to work from home at my own pace and 2) I get to work from home. Oh, I already mentioned that…I meant, 2) I can keep up with new drug information for my pharmacist license. It is really hard being out of the field right now while I stay at home with Leila, because new drugs are being approved all the time and things are constantly changing in medicine. I already felt behind when I left pharmacy school and started working in the real world, so now it is even worse that I am not practicing at the moment. I am looking forward to getting back into the world of pharmacy by researching recent drug information updates after taking 6 months off from it…I will let you guys know if I get the job. Fingers crossed!

I also upgraded some of my photography gear this week and last week, including a Manfrotto tripod and some lighting gear. I haven’t had time to try them out yet, but I will let you guys know how they work out. I can’t wait to play with my new toys 🙂

Have a great weekend, and enjoy these black bean and bell pepper quesadillas!

That’s so exciting about your pharmaceutical work! Working from home is awesome, and even better yet when it’s doing something you’re genuinely interested in :). Also, anything quesadilla-related is right up my alley! YUM!

Working from home is the best 🙂 so exciting!! I made quesadillas all the time in college too, and I still love making them for quick and easy meals. This version looks like such a delicious and easy upgrade of the classic 🙂
